(what else do you really need)

Just a short walk from the University of Kansas campus, McLain’s Market is your go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner & drinks. With two floors and lots of seating areas, our Lawrence location is by far our largest. In addition to having more space, we have extended our hours at this location in order to serve our friends in Lawrence. We are located on the west side of the KU campus, in the old Jayhawk Bookstore!

home away from home

At any point in the day you could stop by the Market and see a variety of people enjoying great food, amazing drinks and yummy treats. Study sessions, business lunches, coffee dates, moms with children, and families grabbing breakfast for their Saturday morning tradition. We hope to always be a place for people to gather and enjoy a treat and each other.

beautiful, custom cakes

Whether a 4” smash cake for your one year olds birthday or a 4 tier wedding cake for you daughter's wedding, we want to be a part of it. Our cake department is full talented and creative decorated and we love when they get to showcase their work. We think everyone should feel special on their birthday and a cake made with love is the perfect gift.

private dining space

"Otto's Private Dining Room", named after our grandfather and his father, both KU alumni, is a space made for events and celebrations. Located on the top floor with a beautiful large window that overlooks Naismith Drive. Spacious seating, walk out patio, and a private bar - we are ready to serve your every need. It’s the perfect space for your luncheon, shower, and party.

really good coffee

Delicious coffee for all, that was our mission. We wanted to make coffee as accessible as possible to our customers at this location, so we designed a walk-up coffee window in addition to a full coffee bar inside. Our coffee bar holds two high quality espresso machines to meet ALL the caffeine needs of a college town.

delicious food & drink

In addition to our classic baked goods, we have expanded our menu to include breakfast, lunch and a full coffee bar. We partner with local coffee roasters for our espresso and coffee offerings and make our syrups in house. We are passionate about simple ingredients and housemade food from scratch.
